  • Abstract
    Au(Pt)Pd ohmic contacts to p-ZnTe are reported, with a determination of the optimum annealing temperature and the optimum Pd layer thickness. The specific contact resistance, measured by the transmission line method, was as low as 5*10-6 Omega cm-2. This value of the specific contact resistance is two orders of magnitude lower than that of Au or Au/Pt contact to p-ZnTe.
